Device and System for Transporting Medical Devices

A device for supporting a plurality of medical containers, comprising:

• a plate;
• having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a sidewall defining a perimeter of the plate and extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, the sidewall comprising four edges intersecting at corners, a longitudinal axis of the plate extending perpendicular to the upper surface, the plate defining a plurality of openings extending through the plate from the upper surface to the lower surface, each opening configured to retain a medical container therein, the plate being dimensioned to be disposed in a packaging for transporting a plurality of medical containers such that a distance measured between opposing edges of the sidewall is less than a distance measured between opposing sidewalls of an interior surface of the packaging;
• and
• at least two positioning elements coupled at a first end thereof to the plate, each of the positioning elements having a second end opposite the first end detached from the plate, the first of the at least two positioning elements is at least partly disposed on a first edge of the four edges, the second of the at least two positioning elements is at least partly disposed on a second edge of the four edges, the first edge and second edge being adjacent to each other,
• wherein, when the plate is disposed in the packaging, each positioning element extends a lateral distance beyond the sidewall of the plate and axially beyond the upper surface of the plate such that each positioning element forms an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the plate and such that each of the positioning elements contacts the interior surface of the sidewall of the packaging when the plate is disposed therein.
